Message from the Chief Research and Innovation Officer: This year marks further progress in our research, education and community outreach endeavors.
The new Pan Am Concussion Clinic
at the MTS Iceplex, under the medical
directorship of Dr. Michael Ellis, is
earning recognition not only for
its excellent and timely treatment
of childhood concussion but also
for state-of-the art research. The
goal to be the most prominent
concussion program in Canada is
coming to fruition. Congratulations
to all involved!
Foundation Rehabilitation Services
continues to get busier at the
Pan Am location (with further
development of a second location at
the Iceplex in the future) and its solid
financial picture is going to achieve
a sustainable base for Foundation
funding for years to come. Thanks to
the Foundation board members who
form the business venture committee
of the Pan Am Clinic Foundation
for their hard work and expertise
in this regard.
Publications and presentations
continue to grow each year thanks
to the hard work of the research
staff and Jeff’s leadership. The
multi-centre nature of many of our
randomized clinical trials keeps us
involved and collaborating with
centres across Canada.
The skills centre continues to be
well-used, with several courses being
held this year and visiting professors
such as Dr. Anthony Romeo (Rush,
Chicago), Dr. Peter Lapner (University
of Ottawa), Dr. Randy Mascarenhas
(Baylor University Houston) Dr.
Charles Fisher (University of British
Columbia spine program) and Dr. Don
Johnson (University of Ottawa).
Our grassroots fundraising with the
golf tournament (thanks to Jerry
Acheson and the golf committee) and
the annual dinner featuring honouree
Lyle Bauer (thanks Kelly and to the
dinner committee) are cornerstones
of these efforts. We must also
acknowledge Mr. Paul Albrehctsen
for his extreme generosity and
support of the Albrechtsen Research
Chair (Dr. Jeff Leiter).
Sincere thanks to all who make the
Foundation successful including
donors large and small, as well as
those who work day-to-day to
achieve the goals we all aspire to.
Thank you,
Dr. Peter MacDonaldCHIEF RESEARCH & INNOVATION OFFICER
CALLING THE PLAY

Message from Executive Director and Albrechtsen Research Chair: In our 2014 Annual Report, the year was summarized by one word: team.
This year, it’s only fitting that we
outline the progress of the Pan Am
Clinic Foundation through our team’s
playbook.
Looking back over the last 10
years, the growth, progression, and
innovative advancement of the Pan
Am Clinic Foundation is somewhat
overwhelming. The risk of rapid
growth is that you don’t take time
along the way to appreciate all
that has been accomplished and
appropriately acknowledge the
partnerships, philanthropy, vision,
individual commitment, resources
and support networks that have
enabled the organization to achieve
this growth. We at the Pan Am Clinic
Foundation certainly do acknowledge
and appreciate all that you have
done to support us over the last
decade and would like to take this
opportunity to sincerely thank you.
Simplification of medical terminology,
clinical care and research can be a
difficult task, and maybe in some
respects, unrealistic. Orthopaedic
sports medicine, musculoskeletal
care, muscle, bone and joint disease,
and exercise
medicine are just
a few terms that
could be used
to describe the
patients we see,
the research we
conduct, and
the services we provide. But, when
it comes down to it, Winnipeggers
and Manitobans somehow know that
if you get injured, you go to Pan Am.
And maybe that’s as simple as it has
to be. The rest is up to us to ensure
you receive world-class treatment for
your injuries. That is our commitment
to you; to continue to provide
you with the best care, through
innovation in research, education and
community outreach.
Please enjoy our annual report and
meet the staff and patients that
motivate us on a daily basis to continue
our journey to the next frontier of
excellence in the treatment of muscle,
bone and joint disease and injury.
We look forward to your continued
support and partnership, and
appreciate and acknowledge all that
you have done for us to date.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeff LeiterEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & ALBRECHTSEN RESEARCH CHAIR

In March 1985, Pan Am Clinic opened
at its present site at 75 Poseidon Bay.
By 1986, the Poseidon building doubled
its size to 12,000 ft2 followed by a
second expansion in 1993, bringing
the clinic to 20,000 ft2.
In 2001, the facility was converted to
an operating division of the Winnipeg
Regional Health Authority (WRHA).
In 2003, a further expansion was funded
to expand the clinic to 40,000 ft2.
In 2005, an additional 10,000 ft2 was
added. From 2005-2008, Pan Am
Clinic developed and initiated the
Pan Am Clinic Foundation bringing the
clinic to its current size of 72,000 ft2.
In 2014, Pan Am Clinic expanded
services to include The Pan Am
Concussion Program is located at
the MTS Iceplex at 3969 Portage
Avenue, Winnipeg.
Over the course of an average year,
250,000 people from across Manitoba
and Northwestern Ontario are seen
at Pan Am Clinic.
NEXT – 85,000 ft2 building in
partnership with Reh-Fit
Message from Dr. Wayne Hildahl: Our Pan Am Clinic only gets busier.
This comes as no surprise to those
of us in health care. Bone and joint
problems have increased by 45%
from 1990 to 2010, and bone and
joint problems are the second highest
cause of disability globally. This is due
in part to an aging population, but
obesity and inactivity also play a role.
We have outgrown our space. We
need more room to provide the level
of care expected of us. Our current
building is 30 years old, and while
it was a boon in its time, would now
require extensive repairs, renovations
and upgrades to remain competitive
and sustainable.
A new partnership with the Reh-Fit
will allow Pan Am to deliver bone and
joint care supported by innovative
research and education, while
promoting healthy living by keeping
people mobile and active.
A NEW CLINIC HOME ON THE HORIZON
Reh-Fit shares this vision for healthy
living. Indeed, it is a homecoming.
What was to become the Pan Am
clinic started at Reh-Fit in 1979. Now,
two world-class organizations are
coming together. A new Pan Am
Clinic will be built adjacent to the
Reh-Fit Centre on Taylor Avenue at
Waverley Street.
The new 85,000-ft2 building will
provide an additional 20,000 ft2 to
work with… our team will have the
tools and resources they need to
expand and advance the care that
we provide.
We want people to continue to look to
our research, treatments and service as
a model for other facilities in the world.
With your help, we can build the Pan
Am of the Future.

The MCEP launched in 2007 and
since its inception, the program has
seen students graduating high school
to continue on to post-secondary
education, many in healthcare -
related fields.
The MCEP is a blend of on-site
training and mentoring at Pan Am
Clinic, Health Sciences Centre, and the
Grace Hospital as well as dedicated
courses to assist the students in their
training to pursue post-secondary
education. Some of these courses
include pre-calculus math, biology,
chemistry, English, and language
studies in either Cree or Ojibway.
The students also learn traditional
Indigenous medicines and ways of
healing. For every year of school
that the MCEP students complete,
they are eligible for a $1,000 bursary
through Bright Futures.
The MCEP is a collaboration of strong
partnerships between the Pan Am
Clinic, the Winnipeg Health Region,
the Winnipeg School Division, and
Children of the Earth High School.
The program could not be possible
without the support of our funders,
all of the staff who work with the
students, and all of the educators.
In 2015, the Medical Careers Exploration Program completed its eighth year with the largest graduating class.

Testimonial: Dr Richard Hawkins
I have the privilege of knowing – in
fact training – two of the Pan Am
Clinic Foundation players, Dr. Peter
MacDonald and Dr. Greg Stranges.
I am impressed with the mission
and vision of the Foundation and
the success it has achieved in keeping
patients active through research
and education.
Peter and I have always striven
to strike the balance with patient
care, research and education, and
family pursuits. The program and
staffing in place for the Foundation
is truly amazing.
Achieving funding for cancer research
and children’s health problems are
laudable, but solving problems and
answering questions surrounding
musculoskeletal problems is also
paramount. To those of you who have
supported the Foundation, thank
you, and to those of you reading this…
perhaps you might contribute.
We are proud of what you have
accomplished in this short time
and look forward to even more
contributions to help our patients
with concussions, arthritis, and
sports injuries.
We are cheering for all of you and
the Foundation!

PATIENT TESTIMONIALCORAL JOHNSON
OVERCOMING CONCUSSION TO HELP OTHERSFAMILY GIVES BACK WITH LOUIS RIEL DAY TOURNAMENT

“I felt my head snap back. I wasn’t
knocked out. But the lights got a bit
brighter. I didn’t come off the ice. I
didn’t think too much about it,” she
says of the January 2014 event.
It was only later, when her head
began to throb and she started
vomiting that she suspected the
true extent of the injury. After the
incident she went to see Dr. Michael
Ellis, Medical Director for the Pan Am
Concussion Program.
He confirmed Coral had sustained
a concussion, and she followed the
recommended treatment: resting,
taking time off the ice and limiting
screen time with her computer
and cellphone.
“It was a textbook return – she was
back to playing hockey within a
month,” says Coral’s mom, Shannon.
Unfortunately, her first game back in
February 2014 saw her hit again. A
player’s knee made contact with her
head, sending her helmet flying off
across the ice’s surface.
She was pulled from the game
immediately. In the locker room she
turtled her head inside her jersey to
screen out the light... and to hide her
tears. “I just thought, ‘This can’t be
happening again!’” said Coral.
Coral hid her symptoms from her
family as best she could, because
she wanted to keep playing hockey.
Ironically, even in her injured state,
she played some of the best games of
her entire hockey career. The season
ended and she went with her family
to Newfoundland. A family friend
who works with the AHL St. John’s
IceCaps pointed out that Coral’s
headaches during the trip might be
fallout from a second concussion.
They returned to see Dr. Ellis.
“I was always tired. I always had a
headache,” recalls Coral, who spent
hours alone in a darkened room,
hoping for relief. “I felt like I was
missing out on life. I didn’t get to see
friends. I was upset and angry.” She
started medication to help with her
anxiety. Her friends weren’t able to
understand what Coral was going
through. “They would say I was
faking it, or ‘You’re so lucky, you
don’t have to write exams.’” Many
of her friendships didn’t survive.
Her grades declined. Support from
school administration – initially
accommodating – evaporated. She
ended up switching schools and is
excelling at Westgate Mennonite
Collegiate. Her concussion history
means she’s unable to return to play
the game she loves, but Coral has
remained involved as a coach to a
team of 7 and 8-year-olds.
The Pan Am Concussion Program is a multi-disciplinary clinical program
affiliated with Pan Am Clinic, Health Sciences Centre - Children’s Hospital, the
University of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. The team
includes experts with training and experience in the management of traumatic
brain injury and concussion, providing care for children with concussion,
while advancing research related to concussions. The program encourages
community partnerships to promote concussion awareness and prevention.
Coral’s concussions didn’t only impact
the quality of her life. Her family also
suffered. “You want to be able to do
things as a family,” says Coral’s dad,
Grant, but it’s impossible when one
member of the family is serving a
prison sentence in a dark bedroom.
“It’s hard to see your child suffering.”
At the time, Shannon admits she
didn’t always realize the depth of
her daughter’s struggle. Her advice?
“Listen to your kids. Learn more about
the effects of concussion. They’re not
exaggerating their symptoms. They
don’t want to feel this way. Advocate
for your family.”
The Johnson family has made it their
mission to help others. When Coral
was a Grade 8 student, she founded
a fundraising Louis Riel Day hockey
tournament at Charleswood’s Roblin
Park Community Centre. Along with
her brother, Zack, and her parents,
Coral, now 17, has raised thousands
in support of the charity Hockey
Fights 4 Kids. This year’s 5th annual
tournament on February 15, 2016, will
see proceeds donated in support of
the Concussion Program. Learn more
about the hockey tournament at

Coral Johnson was doing her job in goal, looking for a puck when two players crashed into her in the crease.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALCARSON HARTY
RETURNING TO GREAT HEIGHTSSOARING AFTER SHOULDER REPLACEMENT
12
When fully recovered, he got back
into a plane – and promptly jumped
out of it.
A passionate skydiver, Carson wasn’t
about to let a shoulder replacement
ground him this time, either. “My body
has a lot of tough hours on it,” says
the 62-year-old, who has completed
more than 1,200 jumps over the years,
mainly at the Gimli Manitoba Drop
Zone and Skydive City (Z HILLS)
in Florida.
His arthritic shoulder had been
hurting for a long time before his
replacement surgery on January 28,
2015. “You try to forget the pain, but
you can’t sleep. You do what you
have to do just to get through the
day.” He endured the pain, even as
he did his best to prepare himself
for surgery, ensuring he was in
peak physical shape through diet
and exercise. Carson says this was
key to a swift recovery. This type of
preparation also helped him return
to work in 12 weeks after he had
completed knee-replacement surgery
by Dr. Victor de Korompay.
Ten weeks after his shoulder
operation, he was skydiving again.
First he had to prove to the staff that
he was strong enough and had the
mobility necessary to reach up over
his head to control the lines on the
parachute. Carson attributes his quick
recovery to the physical and mental
work he did to get in shape before
his surgery, a bowl of oatmeal every
morning, and the skilled hands of his
surgeon, Dr. Greg Stranges. A positive
attitude helps, too.
“There are two kinds of energy:
positive and negative. You have to
choose which one will serve you,” says
Carson. Positive doesn’t always mean
easy, however. In order to regain the
strength he needed for skydiving and
work, he endured painful rehabilitation
under the supervision of his doctor
and the Pan Am staff.
“You have to push to the pain, hold
and relax. You still need to listen to
your body. You can only take it so
far.” He used the same disciplined
approach in his recovery that he used
in his preparation for the procedure.
It wasn’t long after his surgery that he
was back on the job taking on a lead
role in a momentous project for Vale
in Thompson, Manitoba. Together
with the help of Manitoba IBEW 2085
workers under his leadership, they
replaced the skip motors and
electrical drive equipment high
voltage feeds that had been in place
since 1958. The mine produces nickel
used in many medical applications
and was used for the Canada arm on
the Space Shuttle Columbia.
His advice for others? Keep smiling
and remember, “Buddha says he who
fails to laugh at himself is probably
missing a really good joke.”
Carson Harty survived a plane crash more than three and a half decades ago. His body suffered third-degree burns and broken bones, and he spent six months in traction as the first part of his healing process.

His first-ever surgery came the
following day.
“My hand swelled up right away,”
he says of the incident, and he quickly
realized it was more than a minor
injury. He wasn’t able to get back
in the game, one that ended in a
4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto
Maple Leafs.
“It was hard because all my friends
and family were there, watching,”
says Chiarot, who is from Hamilton,
Ontario.
As someone new to Manitoba, he
didn’t have a previous impression
of the Pan Am Clinic. “I knew it was
where the guys (his teammates on
the Winnipeg Jets) went for MRIs
and X-rays,” but that’s where his
knowledge ended – until now.
Dr. Tod Clark, who specializes in hand,
wrist and elbow injuries, performed
the surgery to repair Chiarot’s hand.
“Having surgery was a shock to
me… seeing the incision was a scary
experience,” says Chiarot, along with
the knowledge his bones had been
put back together with plates and
screws. “It’s hard to describe, but
it’s mentally challenging along with
the physical.”
The staff at the clinic took the time to
ease his anxiety by telling him what to
expect throughout his recovery.
“I knew the process; I knew where
I was at and what to do,” he says of
rehabbing the injury.
Now, Chiarot says his hand “feels
good, it’s back to normal, especially
after having the summer to build
strength.” He was able to return to
play the last four games of the season
and playoffs.
“Pan Am took great care of me.”
Just six weeks after his first NHL goal, Winnipeg Jet Ben Chiarot faced an unwelcome new first. He broke the second and third metacarpal on his left hand, the first time the 24-year-old defenceman had ever suffered a break, despite having played the game since the age of three.NO. 7 GRATEFUL TO BE

PAN AM EXPERIENCE UNMATCHED
Like the Autobahn, there’s no speed limit to learning. Dr. Simon Lenschow applied more than a year ago for a fellowship with Pan Am.
While his application had been
reviewed, there was not a position
available at the time. When he
received an unexpected email from
Dr. Peter MacDonald several months
later asking for a telephone interview
“I could hardly believe that I would
finally get the chance to come to
Winnipeg” he says.
Dr. MacDonald told him the
Orthopaedic Sports Medicine and
Upper Extremity Reconstruction
Fellowship was his, but there was
another wrinkle. Dr. Lenschow and
his wife were about to become first-
time parents. The couple decided to
wait until their baby boy made his
appearance before making the move
to Canada.
Dr. Lenschow is grateful for the
accommodations Pan Am made for
his young family. His new colleagues
helped arrange the family’s living
accommodations, right down to what
colour paint they wanted for the
baby’s room in their rented condo.
The fellowship offers hands-
on experience at a pace that is
unmatched in Germany, says Dr.
Lenschow. He was invited to scrub
in with Dr. Dubberley within days
of his arrival in Winnipeg. While
the operation was underway, he
was asked if he wanted to take
over the knife. “I thought, ‘he’s
joking!’” Something like that would
never happen back home, says Dr.
Lenschow. While he arrived with
a wealth of experience in trauma
surgery from his previous work in
Germany, the style of instruction at
Pan Am builds confidence.
“It would have taken years to be able
to do on my own what I’ve been
doing here,” says Dr. Lenschow, as
similar sports medicine fellowships
are rare throughout Europe. “I had
high expectations from everything
I’d been told (about Pan Am), but this
has topped them by 200%.”
He enjoys the working relationship
with his colleagues. “There’s an open
exchange of ideas.” There are always
different ways to do things. Learning
is a bit like driving, says Dr. Lenschow.
“You might be driving a new car, but
you know the technique.”
While he had traveled to Canada
before, he and his family are looking
forward to a white Christmas here in
Winnipeg, and continuing to take in
recreational offerings including the
Bombers and Jets games. Winters at
home in Muenster, Germany, are wet
and slushy compared with the crisp
season he anticipates here. Besides,
when it’s cold outside, “the best place
to be is the OR,” he says.

SPORTS AND BEYOND
Dr. Anene Cheung looks beyond the sports in sports medicine.
The sports medicine fellow says
everything she’s learned by working
at Pan Am will serve her well in a
family medicine practice, too.
The University of Manitoba
Primary Care Sport & Exercise
Medicine Fellowship program is a
comprehensive training opportunity
in sport and musculoskeletal
medicine for the postgraduate family
medicine resident or practicing family
physician. No longer exclusively
concerned with the care of athletes,
it encompasses disciplines such as
exercise physiology, women’s health,
health promotion and prevention
issues, nutrition, and psychology
and more.
One of the richest lessons for her
has been the idea that “there’s no
one right way to do something,”
says Dr. Cheung, but rather there
are a number of “right” approaches.
Working with her supervising
physicians has helped her to become
more independent and confident in
treating patients. Fellows at Pan Am
quickly move from observation to
leading patient care.
Exposure to the volume of
musculoskeletal cases encountered
at Pan Am is an advantage. Over
time, you are able to put all the pieces
together for a better understanding
of joint function, says Cheung. “You
see the natural way things heal
over time. We’re used to quick
fixes. But you also have to manage
expectations.”
It’s something she sees across a wide
range of patients, from someone
looking forward to resuming their
work and lifestyle activities, to high
performance athletes who want to be
back in the game.
Doctors in the fellowship program
at Pan Am are able to work with
professional and amateur sports
teams, including the Winnipeg Jets,
the Blue Bombers, the University of
Manitoba Bison football team and
athletes from a number of other
sports. Dr. Cheung said it’s interesting
to see what athletes are able to
accomplish with their drive and
motivation to get back to the way
they were pre-injury.
Dr. Cheung recommends the
fellowship to other physicians. “I
would give them the same advice I
received: If you’re thinking about it,
just do it. You’re exposed to so much
in this learning environment.”

THE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Dr. Lindsey MacDonald first heard of the Pan Am Clinic Fellowship Program when she was completing an orthopaedics elective as a medical student.
“I knew I wanted a career that
involved musculoskeletal pathology,
but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to
be a surgeon. I ended up doing a
residency in family medicine and
I noticed from Day 1 that I had an
affinity for sports medicine.”
She describes the training from the
primary care sports medicine doctors
as exceptional, but the day-to-day
work has brought an appreciation
for what a well-run clinic the Pan Am
is. Patients can present with more
acute injuries to the Minor Injury
Clinic, while more chronic injuries
and follow-ups can be seen in the
Sports Medicine clinic, and diagnostic
imaging can be done during most
clinic appointments. “We also work
in collaboration with orthopaedic
surgeons, as well as a few plastic
surgeons, and I have learned a ton
from daily input. It really is a one-
stop-shop.
“I believe it truly has provided me
with the best learning environment
possible.”
The Pan Am Clinic is unique in that
the fellowship staff gets to help out
with professional, as well as amateur
sports coverage.
The staff and medical professionals
at Pan Am are excellent educators,
says Dr. MacDonald. Not only do
they teach throughout clinic, but
they also take the time to teach
after hours, including during many
sporting events, both amateur
and professional.
She recommends anyone who is
contemplating a fellowship complete
an elective at Pan Am. “My elective
as a second year family medicine
resident was what really made
me realize I was set on pursuing
a career in sports medicine. The
staff is extremely welcoming and
knowledgeable and made me feel
as though I was going to have a
wonderful educational experience if I
were to complete the fellowship.”
Dr. MacDonald hopes to remain on as
a staff member after completing her
fellowship. “I will feel well prepared
for a position in sports medicine once
I have completed my training. The
high volume of patients and the wide
variety of pathologies I see on a day-
to-day basis have really helped me
feel more confident in myself.
“The fellowship program has been the
best year of my medical training!”

HAPPY TO CALL PAN AM HOME
Dr. Jonathan Marsh has travelled the world to master the shoulder, elbow and wrist surgical procedures that are his specialty.
While enriching, his journeys
ultimately served to demonstrate
how rewarding it can be to work
right here at home.
Dr. Marsh found references to his
hometown clinic would come up
during his orthopedic fellowships in
Auckland, New Zealand and London,
Ontario. “They would say, ‘How would
they do this at Pan Am Clinic?’ We
have a research powerhouse here.
Pan Am has changed the way the
world does things.”
One of the things that make Pan
Am stand out is the accessibility
of comprehensive care available.
Patients can arrive without being
referred by another physician, and
receive care from X-rays, to MRIs,
surgery and physiotherapy all in
one place.
“Patients are receiving high quality
care at a fast pace.”
It is also an accessible place for
students, residents and even high
school students who have been able
to observe surgical procedures.
“You never forget your first operation,”
says Dr. Marsh.
The team environment is something
Dr. Marsh says he hasn’t found
elsewhere. “We truly are friends.
Everyone is treated as equals. It’s
all about collaboration. Honestly,
we have the best group of people
anywhere. “
Sports teams appreciate the team
they have behind them, says Dr.
Marsh. The reputation of the clinic
has also drawn from the world
beyond sports, to the performing
arts. The acrobats from the recent
run of Cavalia’s Odysseo received
treatment at the clinic.
“Professional teams want their players
treated here.” Maintaining the
reputation of the clinic and the high
level of care offered does come into
mind for Dr. Marsh, as a motivator
to always do his best. “Operating is
literally ‘another day at work’ – but it
never gets old. It’s a privilege to do
what we do.”

On Tuesday, June 2, the Pan Am
Clinic Foundation hosted the third
annual Diamond In the Rough Golf
Tournament at Glendale Golf and
Country Club. The 162 golfers played
on a cloudy, overcast day to support
the Pan Am Clinic Foundation. Thank
you to these intrepid supporters.
Golfers received a custom-tailored
suit by EPH Apparel and the
opportunity to bid on some exclusive
prize packages.
For such a young and uncommon
nine-hole tournament, we are
overwhelmed by the response and
commitment from the returning and
new golfers. Everyone really enjoys
the golfing, the camaraderie, and the
great food and prizes.
Funds raised through this event
support the Pan Am Clinic
Foundation Concussion Research
Program at the MTS Iceplex. This
program enables sport scientists to
undertake research to improve the
sideline assessment and management
of sports concussion.
This program can play a pivotal role in
determining how and when to return
players to sport safely and effectively
following a head injury.
The Pan Am Clinic Foundation along
with the organizing committee
would like to thank all those who
participated, offered sponsorship
support and provided fabulous prizes
that helped make Diamond In The
Rough a continued success. We are
looking forward to another great
tournament in 2016!

The Pan Am Clinic Foundation
celebrated the 10th Annual Fire & Ice
Gala Fundraising Dinner on March 13,
2015 at the Fort Garry Hotel, Spa
and Conference Centre. The dinner
is one of the primary fundraisers for
the Foundation.
The Foundation celebrated sport
excellence and commitment to the
community. We honoured Lyle Bauer,
former President and CEO of the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers, a three
time Grey Cup Champion, 1998
Winnipeg Blue Bomber Hall of Fame
inductee and co-chair of the Never
Alone Foundation.
John Sauder from CBC Manitoba
was the emcee for the evening
and mentioned how he has been
in attendance for all 10 of the Fire
& Ice events. Dr. Peter MacDonald
paid tribute to the late Dr. Warren
Froese, followed by Sandy Froese
saying grace. CJOB sportscaster and
2014 Fire & Ice honouree Bob Irving
conducted a one-one interview with
Bauer. Bob made sure to joke about
the “mullet” that Lyle had back in
1981, and then led into a more serious
conversation of Lyle’s diagnosis of
Stage 4 throat cancer in 2004, a
journey that inspired the creation
of the Never Alone Foundation in
support of those affected by cancer.
Guests were treated to a gourmet
meal prepared by the Fort Garry
Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre
and enjoyed musical entertainment
by Grant Leutschaft.
Thank you to all who made the
evening a tremendous success
by supporting the Pan Am Clinic
Foundation and joining us in paying
tribute to a truly deserving individual.
